| | Cover Story |
 | | Nancy Wilson holds a special place in the annals of rock guitar: as a player, singer, and songwriter for Heart, she brought her acoustic vision to the rock 'n' roll table and demanded to be heard. | | | Nancy Wilson has gone back to basics with her writing as well, pursuing the philosophy that songwriting, like guitar playing, is less about technique and technology and more about feel and emotion. | | | Wilson plays all of the songs on the CD using her combination pick-and-fingerstyle technique, except for "The Rain Song," which is a straight fingerstyle piece. |

| | HeraldNet: Heart does it their way |
| | Nancy Wilson, who is married to rock journalist-turned-screenwriter Cameron Crowe, wrote music for films written by her husband, such as "Jerry McGuire," "Vanilla Sky" and "Almost Famous." She also did a solo acoustic tour that resulted in a 1999 CD, "Live at McCabe's Guitar Shop." | | | But Nancy Wilson said both sisters came to miss Heart, and in 2001, they formed a new touring lineup and returned to the concert trail. | | | And along the way, Nancy Wilson also got to know a Los-Angeles-based musician, Craig Bartock, and discovered she had an instant musical chemistry with him. |

| | Rhythm guitarist Nancy Wilson was a whirling dervish on stage with her strawberry blond shag haircut and blond highlights. | | | Kicking off the show with Kick It Out, sisters Ann and Nancy Wilson led their six-piece band through a set that included lots of 1970s classics, a handful of new tunes, crowd-pleasing cover songs and even three songs from the '80s metal-lite days. | | | Ann sounded better than ever and the addition of the new guitarist was a bonus. |

| | CD Review of Nancy Wilson - R.S.V.P. (Rare Songs, Very Personal) on MCG Jazz @ jazzreview.com |
| | If this really is Nancy Wilsons last CD before heading into retirement, she has left her fans with a stylish summing-up of her still-intact appeal, for still, her voice is as distinctive and as effective as ever. | | | Wilson bookends the CD with songs giving unabashed reference to the pleasures of looking back on a life well lived, An Older Man Is Like An Elegant Wine (which she performs with Toots Thielemans and Phil Woods, her contemporaries), and Blame It On My Youth (with George Shearing). | | | Now, Wilson has released, through the auspices of the Manchester Craftsmens Guild, a CD of songs that she always wanted to record but never had occasion to do so. |

| | Nancy Wilson--Live At McCabe's Guitar Shop |
| | She's a good guitarist, and a more than competent songwriter, but stripped down to just vocals and acoustic guitar, it's her unaffected singing which is the most pleasant surprise on this consistently engaging disc. | | | With the release of this unplugged, intimate live record, Nancy finally takes center stage and shows a side of her talents underexposed in Heart's rock catalog, and only glimpsed in her work with the Lovemongers. | | | Even when their pounding songs weren't aimed at overproduced arena anthem rock, Ann Wilson's consistently pseudo-dramatic, rock-chick, rafter-rattling vocals were enough to send me packing for less pompous waters. |

| | Miss Nancy Wilson would rather call herself a "song stylist" instead of limiting herself to just jazz; certainly that explains her cross-genre appeal to pop and R&B fans. | | | Still, the most recognizable Nancy Wilson is the one backed by a large string orchestra as on 1967's Lush Life. | | | Wilson, who has now cut more than 70 albums, came to New York in 1959 from Columbus, Ohio, and was on the way up within a year. |

| | Nancy Wilson |
| | She's always been a bit hidden by the overpowering shadow of big sister Ann, but Heart guitarist/ singer Nancy Wilson steps confidently into the light on Live at McCabes Guitar Shop, her first solo album. | | | As a singer, Nancy sounds like "Ann Wilson Lite"—the similarities are jarring, but this Wilson sister knows how and when to tone it down. | | | From the fluidity of her acoustic guitar playing on Paul Simon's folk classic, "Kathy's Song," to the bristling vocal passion she brings to Joni Mitchell's "A Case Of You," this unplugged setting seems to have ignited a truly creative spark in Wilson. |

| | Ann and Nancy launched a back-to-basics side band soonafter, the Lovemongers - debuting with a cover of Led Zeppelin's �The Battle of Evermore" on the Singles motion picture soundtrack in 1992. | | | The �90s saw Ann and Nancy open their own Seattle recording studio, Bad Animals, during which time the area became a breeding ground for countless chart-topping �grunge' outfits, including Alice in Chains, with whom Ann sang with on their 1991 acoustic EP, Sap. | | | By the late �60s, Wilson became equally interested in such hard rockers as Led Zeppelin and folk artists as Joni Mitchell, and as a result, her vocals could adapt between the two styles. |
